Calcutta: Jockey C. Alford is expected to rule Saturdays seven-event card, featuring the 1,600m Governors Cup which, however, has been re-slotted for 3.15pm in view of the trophy presentation ceremony. The trophy, in fact, may turn out to be a mere formality for trainer Vijay Singhs ward Silver Fox who is not only favourably placed by the terms of the race, the horse is also looking well and knocking at the door.

Alfords other chance rides, include Adamaris in the 1,400m Mayors Cup. In his last outing, the Darius Byramji-trained horse went down by a narrow margin to Grand Madame, a classy filly. Spanish Sahara and Queen Of Rhythm are Alfords other rides who merit attention in their respective events  the C.R..S Cup and the Bookmakers Association Cup. The two horses are looking much improved since their last outings.Read as: Sl. nos, last 4 runs, horse name, trainer, jockey, weight & draw:
